    '67 Charging System Test Needed

    Replaced the battery, VR and found bad diodes in the alternator. Stock 327. Had the original alternator rebuilt. The car is still not charging. Is therea test to isolate the voltage regulator or alternator as the culprit. Does someone have a test to isolate the problem. Thanks

      Larry,
      How do you know it isn't charging? You will definitely need a DVM (Digital Volt Meter) to know the battery voltage, before cranking the engine to start and what the voltage is after starting and revving it up past 1500 for a few seconds. A test light will not be sufficient.

      The light at the end of the tunnel has been turned off.

              Thanks. With a voltmeter, I am running off the battery right now.
